Offering Help

Hi everyone,

I’m a professional plasterer who completed the lime plastering course in March, and I’m currently looking to see if anyone needs a hand with some work in and around Sussex area.

I’m mainly looking to build up my portfolio and gather some photos for my website, so if anyone needs help with any lime plastering work feel free to give me a shout.

Also it would be good to link up with anyone who’s done the course down this way.

Happy to travel and help where I can. Cheers!

Hi Jack,


I'm based in Derbyshire and work ad hoc as a labourer with a lime plasterer. I've completed the plastering course with Carrington Lime and I'm currently renovating my house, plastering with perlite and horsehair. If you think I might be able to help, please send details of the work to matthew.jones@posteo.net. Thanks

Are you looking for a helping hand?

We have lots of students looking for the opportunity to help on a real project. If you are currently working on any plastering jobs please remember to post details so our students can contact you. Please include your location (not full address), what work you are looking for help with and your timescales.


Lets get those jobs across the finish line.

Hoping to link up and hear from others

Hi everyone,


I completed the Professional course in December and wondering if there's anyone here from a similar part of the country. I'm in Bedfordshire but targeting surrounding counties as well for work (Bucks, Herts, Cambs, Northamptonshire, possibly down to London).


Also just interested to hear from others from the heritage labourer's course and previous years' professional courses about how it's going, any tips, and if there are any jobs you might want to link up on. Happy to travel :)


Cheers

Looking for work, East Midlands

Hello all,


I am based in Boston, Lincolnshire looking for opportunities to work with lime and help out onsite. I recently completed the Heritage Labourer course at Carrington Lime so have a good understanding of Lime and its many uses as well as the practical skills neccesary to help out with mixing, old plaster/render removal, plastering, rendering and pointing on hertitage properties.


Would be great to hear from anyone looking for help or who know of any contacts I can make in my area. Happy to travel too, if there is anything further afield.


Thanks for reading,


Sim

Newbie to the Heritage World

Hello!

I am based out of Manchester and looking to connect with anyone for work and experience opportunities :)


I started my journey in the heritage world late 2024 working on replacing a slate roof. Over the last year I have been involved in projects with plain tile roofing, stripping back properties ready for works, pointing and lots of general labouring! Keeping a well run organised work ground is my speciality. I've just finished my Heritage labourers course with Ben & Kate, learning so much and making some great contacts :)


I'd love to get some further experience in plastering, but ultimately I'm keen to get into work soon and continue gaining skills.


Grateful for any suggestions in my area!


Thanks everyone :)

Post your jobs

Afternoon all,


If you are currently working on a project that you could benefit from help with, do post details here. Our professional students will be finishing their training with us in just two weeks, and we have 8 new heritage labourers starting with us in January - all of whom will be looking for work experience opportunities.


Not only could you get an extra pair of skills hands on your project, but you would be helping the next generation of heritage specialists on your career journey.


Kate
